@hollie Respect for my fellow #dyscalculia buddies, just talking our way through it one number at a time! Just leave us to calculate in peace. <3

@Vidyala @hollie We can math, we just need to do it at our own pace, in our own way !

@hag @hollie I can math very well with the calculator on my phone that I always have with me now, bless technology 😂 or I ask Siri, my little math buddy

@Vidyala @hag Yeah having the calculator on the phone, it's SO NICE! I'm never without one now. I love it.

I still sometimes apologize when I have to pull it out for something. I'm working on that years-of-shame stuff. :)

@hollie @hag Oh yeah, I absolutely hear you there. I've only recently gotten comfortable doing things like in a board game, if there's somebody real math-y playing I'll just go "cool you seem like math person, can you move my marker along the points board please?" instead of having everyone waiting while I count each space laboriously. It was always so stressful!

@Vidyala @hag Oh my gosh, YES! Games can be so rough that way! Many games require quick addition or subtraction as part of the mechanics, let alone scoring.

We play regular games with two close friends and I LOVE LOVE LOVE that I can stop and think, take time, and just say, "math pause, one sec," and they all know what it means and even the pushy person is like, "Sure, go ahead." 💜😂

I want to popularize this idea of Slow Math Kindness.

@hollie @hag Our D&D group used to sit there waiting for me to count my Fireball damage D6. There were...so many. The impatience was palpable (nobody said anything, but you can just feel it). I like the idea of Slow Math Kindness, haha.

@Vidyala @hollie and I mean that's why we have calculators in the first place!
They want to be used! :D
